Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
It appears a bit weird about that habit.

I will suggest to avoid this licking habit. As dog saliva can contain viruses and other pathogens, which can get transmitted even with a minor bruise in and around vagina. And nay such infection is harmful to both - mother and the baby.

For her tenderness she can use Tab CALPOL 650 mg as needed and CLINGEN vaginal tablets for a week can be of help.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
Dr Purushottam
